Duude, Grab Your Munchies and Get Ready to #80sLiveTweet

Duude, Grab Your Munchies and Get Ready to #80sLiveTweet

Ahh…Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure – a ridiculous movie that was every Gen-X weed head’s life back in 1989. I know, I know – we didn’t see them smoke at any point during that movie – but, let’s be honest with each other, they are the younger brothers of Ridgemont High School’s legendary Jeff Spicoli. Starring my high school crush, Keanu Reeves, and Alex Winter (I liken him to the Brian…

The time has come plan our holiday travel, and #80sLiveTweet

The time has come plan our holiday travel, and #80sLiveTweet

So, let’s just get this out in the air – Planes, Trains and Automobiles has to be one of the funniest anti-buddy comedies out there. Because of my age, I grew up with Steve Martin and John Candy films as a go to in my life. So, movies with both of them are guaranteed comedy to me — for example, The Great Outdoors (Just thinking about those damn raccoons makes me laugh out loud). In 1987 John…

Wanna See a Dead Body? Come and #80sLiveTweet With Us

Wanna See a Dead Body? Come and #80sLiveTweet With Us

A bit of sharing here, growing up I was not the normal little girl. At age 9 I was already reading true crime novels and Stephen King, religiously. Some of those books scared the living daylights out of me, but I couldn’t put them down. My parents dealt with a sleep-deprived elementary school aged child who would jump if there was an unexplained noise in the house. Oh….it was so freakin’ fun.…

"Wolfman's Got Nards!" Let's #80sLiveTweet The Monster Squad This Weekend!

“Wolfman’s Got Nards!” Let’s #80sLiveTweet The Monster Squad This Weekend!

I remember watching this film a few years after its release on TV and thinking, how much I wish I had a group of friends that had it’s own Monster Squad!  Then as I continued further into the film I realized, being surrounded by some of these ghoulish creatures as they come to life, may not be something worth wishing for. This 1987 comedy film with a dose of horror is about a society of young…

#80sLiveTweet is Back to Air All Your Family’s Dirty Laundry

The worst kind of slumber party….ever I usually open up with a fun headline using the title of the movie. But, this week’s #80sLiveTweet has to be one of the most disturbing stories ever known to teenage girls – Flowers in the Attic. Let me just get this out of the way right now – this movie is a complete and absolute sh*t show. However, you will not be able to turn away. Every time I come across…

Shall We Play a Game and #80sLiveTweet?

Shall We Play a Game and #80sLiveTweet?

This week’s #80sLiveTweet is really bringing me back – 1983’s WarGames. Oh gosh, what was I up to in 1983? Let’s see: Battling it out with my older brother, and mother, about who’s the Master of Pacman on our Atari 2600 (my brother was much taller, and 9 years older, so he would hit the reset lever whenever it looked like he was about to be beat by his kid sister – cue the hysterical “DADDY!!!…

The Heat Is On for #80sLiveTweet…Again?

“Don’t think, Axel! It makes my dick itch!” — Inspector Todd Who knew Beverly Hills was such a happening place for major crimes? Well, it is….and Axel Foley is back from Detroit to help his buddies figure out who tried to kill Captain Bogomil. But, while this happens, he’ll be killing us with laughs. As I’ve said before, Eddie Murphy in the 80s could do no wrong. I have yet to see a movie with…
